Pictures!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. I had to wait until fewer people were using the internet to get them to load.

At the summit of Mauna Kea (white mountain) nearly 14,000 ft in elevation.

Even with the gloves and parkas, it was cold (probably around 30F)!

The view from above the clouds was incredible! This is one of the many telescopes.

We hiked down to the black sandy beaches. It was a great workout! Somebody had built this nice big log swing hanging from a tree branch.

On the coast of the black sandy beaches. It looked like fine, powdery graphite. 

More to come... right now we're tired (after all, it is 3:00 am).

We love and miss you all!
